There are three kinds of vegetation in an ecosystem: grass (G), shrubs (S), and trees (T) (Bodine, Lenhart, and Gross 2014). Every year, 25% of grassland plots are converted to shrubs, 20% of shrub plots are converted to trees, 8% of trees are converted to shrubs, and 1% of trees are converted to grass; the other transition probabilities are 0. Calculate the probability of a plot of land have the following succession of vegetation from year to year: GSGG, taking the first state as given. (type three digits after the decimal).
A researcher collected data on adult alcohol consumption and marital status. She reported the number of adults in each category. 1- 60 drinks More than 60 drinks O drinks per month Total per month per month Single 20 100 30 150 Married 100 400 150 650 Widowed 10 25 15 50 Divorced 20 80 50 150 Total 150 605 245 1000 An adult is randomly selected from the study. Use this information to find the probabilities requested. Find the following probabilities as fractions. Don't simplify your results. a) What is the probability that a person drinks 1 - 60 drinks per month given that they are divorced? b) What is the probability that a person is divorced given that they drink 1 - 60 drinks per month? c) What is the probability that a person is single given that they have more than 60 drinks per month? d) What is the probability that a person has more than 60 drinks per month given that they are a widow?

A manufacturing plant produces light bulbs in three different colors: red, blue, and green. The probabilities of producing a red, blue, or green bulb are 0.2, 0.5, and 0.3, respectively. If a customer buys six bulbs at random, what is the probability of receiving at least two bulbs of each color?
A store owner stocks an out-of-town newspaper that is sometimes requested by a small number of customers. Each copy of this newspaper costs her 70 cents, and she sells them for 90 cents each. Any copies left over at the end of the day have no value and are destroyed. Any requests for copies that cannot be met because stocks have been exhausted are considered by the store owner as a loss of 5 cents in goodwill. The probability distribution of the number of requests for the newspaper in a day is shown in the accompanying table. If the store owner defines total daily profit as total revenue from newspaper sales, less total cost of newspapers ordered, less goodwill loss from unsatisfied demand, what is the expected profit if four newspapers are order? Number of requests 0 1 2 3 4 5 Probability 0.12 0.16 0.18 0.32 0.14 0.08
A company retains a psychologist to assess whether job applicants are suited for assembly‑line work. The psychologist classifies applicants as one of ?A (well suited), ?B (marginal), or ?C (not suited). The company is concerned about the group ?D , where an employee leaves the company within a year of being hired. Data on all people hired in the past five years give the probabilities shown. ?(?)=0.4P(A)=0.4 ?(?)=0.3P(B)=0.3 ?(?)=0.3P(C)=0.3 ?(? and ?)=0.1P(A and D)=0.1 ?(? and ?)=0.1P(B and D)=0.1 ?(? and ?)=0.2P(C and D)=0.2 Select the correct Venn diagram of the events ?,?,?,A,B,C, and ?D showing the probabilities of all combinations of psychological assessment and leaving (or not) within a year.
A company buys microchips from three suppliers I, II and III. Supplier I has a record of providing microchips that contain 10% defective; supplier a defective rate of 5% and supplier III has a defective rate of 3%. Suppose 10%, 40% and 50% of the current supply came from suppliers I, II and III, respectively. If a randomly selected microchip is defective, what is the probability that it came from supplier II? Express your answer accurate to two decimal places. O 48 O..40 O something else O 44 O 41
A company sends its products from 3 warehouses, namely from warehouse A=30%, warehouseB=20% and from warehouse C=50%. Based on complaints from customers, it is known thatthe percentage of defective products sent from each warehouse is as follows: A=3% , B= 5% and from warehouse C= 2%.a. Suppose a customer after ordering the product, the next dayComplained that the item was defective. What is the probability that the product receivedthe customer is from warehouse C? b. If another customer who also orders the product and getsthe goods are in good condition, what is the probability that the product received by the customerdoes it come from warehouse A?
Q. 1 Suppose that 4.5% of all adults over 50 have cancer. A certain physician correctly diagnoses 94% of all adults over 50 with cancer as having the disease and incorrectly diagnoses 4% of all adults over 50 without cancer as having the disease. (i) Draw a tree diagram and label it with appropriate probabilities. (ii) Find the probability that a randomly-selected adult over 50 is diagnosed as not having cancer. (iii) Find the probability that a randomly-selected adult over 50 actually has cancer, given that he/she is diagnosed as not having cancer.
A market in Boston orders oranges from Florida. The oranges are shipped to Boston from Florida by either railroad, truck, or airplane; an order can take 1, 2, 3, or 4 days to arrive in Boston once it is placed. The following probabilities have been assigned to the number of days it takes to receive an order once it is placed (referred to as lead time): Lead Time Probability 1 .20 2 .50 3 .20 4 .10 1.00 Compute the expected number of days it takes to receive an order and the standard deviation.
A social event allows free entrance to those with Aim High credit card or those with the car Elite. The probabilities of having Aim High and Elite among the employees of a company are 0.10 and 0.05, respectively. Having Aim High is found to be independent of owning Elite. If 1,000 invitations are sent randomly to employees of the company, estimate the number who will be given free entrance.
